Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers revealed that star players Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are on the brink of returning from their respective injuries.
Despite significant setbacks, the Bucks managed to stave off elimination on Tuesday, securing a crucial 115-92 victory against the Indiana Pacers to force a Game 6.
Lillard has been sidelined for the last two games due to an Achilles injury sustained late in Game 3.
Meanwhile, Antetokounmpo has been grappling with a left soleus (calf) strain, which has caused him to miss the final three regular-season games and the entirety of the first-round series.
Heading into Game 6, the Pacers maintain a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
They are vying to advance past the opening round for the first time since 2014.
Despite Milwaukee's historical struggle to overcome a 3-1 deficit, the potential return of their superstars injects new hope and intrigue into the series.
The pivotal Game 6 is scheduled for later today, in Indianapolis at 6:30 p.m. ET / 3:30 p.m. PT, where Antetokounmpo and Lillard are anticipated to make their much-anticipated comeback, potentially altering the course of the series.
